The MLS management is interested in bringing a star footballer to the league who can compete with Inter Miami's forward Lionel Messi in terms of popularity.
The Argentine World Champion joined the MLS club in the summer of 2023. Messi's club failed to reach the playoffs in the last season.
According to Diario AS, the MLS management intends to attract a player of similar caliber for the progress of the entire championship. League managers have already begun the search for such a player.
Earlier, Messi stated that he remained on the bench in Hong Kong for reasons not connected to politics. There is also information that Messi's current club, Inter Miami, is in urgent need of reducing the payroll.
